Case Study: Folk2Folk achieves rapid, scalable growth with Rackspace Technology’s Fanatical Support for Microsoft Azure

Folk2Folk - Customer Case Study

Folk2Folk is a UK peer-to-peer business lender launched in 2013 that fills a gap left by mainstream banks, combining local knowledge with a tech-driven approach. Rapid, “faster-than-expected” growth—lending had already topped £120m—meant the company needed a new, scalable platform and infrastructure that could handle expansion, regulatory requirements and unpredictable demand.

Folk2Folk moved to Microsoft Azure with Rackspace Fanatical Support layered on top, going live in five weeks and completing multiple infrastructure iterations in the first months. The solution delivered flexibility, security and 24x7x365 expert support, improved customer visibility and service, kept costs down, and provided the scalable foundation for continued product innovation and growth.
